[Q] Hey There I Need Help!! - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey Whats Up Everyone My Names Michael And I'm New Here. I Currently Have A Samsung Galaxy Vibrant And Been Trying To Re flash Clockworkmod Into My Phone Again. I Recently Had Chimera Ics Installed And Uninstalled it Back To Factory, But Been Having Problems Re installing The Clockworkmod. I Accidentally Deleted Some Folders In My Phones Memory Card And Its Been Giving Me This Problem -
E :Cant open /sdcard/update.zip (No Such File Or Directory) Installation Aborted
How Can I Have The Phone To Re install Clockworkmod Again?. I Need Help!!!!

Put the update.zip in your internal storage. Not in a folder. Just right out there in the open.
If you don't have that file at all do a quick search of the guides. I think Woodrube has it posted too. See if you can find it. If not I'll look later.

ok so i just go into the root of my phone and remake a folder name update.zip?

No just put your downloaded file as it is in your phone

I've tried Helly Bean and Paranoid Android.
I would recommend them both. I'm currently on Paranoid Android and its quick as lightning and smooth as butter.

Paranoid, sitting in a deep sweat...

i used paranoid for my phone but some stuff dont work. like camera and google apps

The horses are still runnin, but it may be the Helly has "the right stuff" but im back and forth daily. But do some research on what update.zip is your frightening me...If I was your Phone..run .run.run.

so what roms do you guys recommend for my phone..i mean something new and full of features?

This is because the camera and Google apps are a separate zip file called Gapps. Its right there in the OP, can't miss it.

how do i get that.do you have a link i can get paranoid and everything for the camera and google apps?

Id go with a stable ICS, most of the peeps prowling this thread are updating, ,,,not daily drivers, my daily is an ICS, this is really a flashers web, but theres some great ICS Roms to download...

If you want a stock like experience then GeeWiz is probably what you want. If you want cutting edge then AOKP is probably the best non-Touchwiz Rom.

Hmmm, sound like somebody didn't follow instructions and flash Gapps
Make sure you're on CWM fixed for CM7
MAKE A NANDROID
wipe data/factory reset in recovery
flash ROM if you're on ICS, if not flash this THS build 2 first
flash Gapps
reboot

but... i don't have play store on my phone or any google apps to sync my google account. can someone please do me a favor and tell me what i need to do to start getting my phone going? i've been with a blank OS all day...
What's the first step i need to do to start getting play store/google account going on my phone? im clueless..... couldn't find a single app to start going..
Last time I checked, Droidstyle's Guide had all the files you'd need, including Gapps. Perhaps give it another read.

Well it appears to be a port(?) from the i9000 galaxy s, hence the i9000 in the kernel but that could be the issue right there. You need a vibrant kernel. Really the biggest question is how did you flash a ROM but don't know what it is? The name should be in the OP.
I recommend Hellybean.

When I first flash this ROM my phone was bricked. after many trying I could get rid of this problem. Though I bricked my phone but I continued trying to flash this kernel and at last I succeeded. Now it has some problems such as calling problem which I told my previous post. Secondly I can't hear music in loud speaker !!! I noticed that last night. But the phone is speedy, faster. No I have no front facing camera. My phone is vibrant sgh t949. And in recovery mode I can scroll options without volume up, down button by touching. But before I can't touch In recovery mode. There is also file manager name AROMA in recovery mode.

OK you mean t959...... I am not sure which ROM you are using now but try and flash the ROM in the link, both links are the same I accidentally posted it twice. Be sure to read the op carefully and follow instructions. I am going to provide you with another link for Odin in case you run into trouble but you should be okay. I check these threads daily and will try to give you support in any way I can.

Yes. I'm trying. i have no internet connection last one day and i am downloading my previous apps from play store. i accidently deleted all of my backups. Now i'm downloading AIO VIBRANT TOOLBOX. it's 200+ mb. but i don't understand the very first link (Hellybean 4.1 link). there is no specific download link of this ROM. By the way I will try another vibrant ROM by the second post's link.
Edit: Now.. Odin isn't recognizing my phone in my computer!!!!!!! I have installed exact driver. last time when i bricked my phone. it worked in my fried's PC. now i have to go there, because his PC loves my phone not my PC. i don''t know why this is happening !!!
When it rains, it pours. . You'll be okay. From the issues you are having when you get to your friends house, I would definitely Odin back to stock JFD and start fresh. You seem to have the wrong kernel for your device. So start over and you should be ok.
When you go to hellybean thread in the first post there is a link that will take you to Devil website. Hit the download link it will take you to rootax files. Locate the hellybean 20120813 allinone.zip. and hellybean add ons and DL.
After you go back to stock it is recommended to flash GB boot loaders. Next,(full wipe) Flash cm9 nightly, reboot and wait about 10-15mins to allow time for files to finish, then(full wipe again) flash the hellybean allinone.zip, reboot recovery, (no wipe)flash allinone.zip again (no wipe) flash add on zip, fix permission and reboot.
Give 15mins to let it settle then setup and enjoy.

Finally I flashed my phone by the real ROM. Thank you so much. I used cyanogen mod 9 Stanky. It has no problem with my device. All my problems such as phone calls, volume up-down are corrected. Now it is Glitch recovery mode. Not devil and this recovery mode is not touchable. Thank you so much.

After flashing I didn't get into play store or any Google apps . But when I entered into Google apps such play store, gmail it didn't enter I mean forced closed. So I flased the Devil Addons. Now I have two gallery and two camera otherwise all of them are correct!!!

The apps that are force closing, go to settings, apps or manage apps, forget which its called and the find the app in question. Force stop it and clear data. Should work after that.

Apparently the ROM has gapps baked in and the hellybean add on is for jb not ICS. You can try and manually remove but it would probably be best to reflash the ROM. (Full wipe)
If you want jb go to the hellybean link I gave you and follow op directions.

Yes i have downloaded the ROM you said. I will try this. Now i am using the SKANKY ROM. PROBLEMS AFTER PROBLEMS.(BUT I AM NOT TIRED BECAUSE I WANT TO BE LIKE YOU, I AM LEARNING) NOW MY GALLERY, WINAMP, GOOGLE MUSIC CAN`T FIND THE SD CARD PICTURES AND MUSIC FILES. IF I OUT ALL FILES FROM SD CARD AND AGAIN INSERT THEM I THINK THE PROBLEM WILL BE SOLVED. OTHERWISE ALL OF APPS ARE WORKING VERY SMOOTHLY.

Is pershoot 4.1 or..... I cannot see it nowhere
Pershoots newest Build is 4.2.1, so it works with 4.2 Gapps. But mate, wrong section here. This must be in Q&A Forum.
I always use JusTun inverted gapps. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1797292
You can use with pershoots latest build, because I have already tryed and works. But read carefully the FAQ, otherwise you can have troubles.
Good luck.

If you can't find an answer in Q&A that's why you start a new thread in Q&A to ask the question. Threads and responses in the Dev area should be to help a dev or release work you have done yourself. But to do you a solid the easiest solution to your problem is to use desktop Odin and flash the bootloader file under the BOOTLOADER option.
Guys, this is a thread about a rom that already has a thread in this same forum. Searching there will more than likely give you the info you need. Happy searching!
Well checked out the ROM. Here are the bugs I found out so far:
1.The number of home screens is almost always double the number selected.
2.Wallpaper issue from 4.1.2 still isn't fixed.
3.Feeles a lot slower than the 4.1.2.
4.Panorama force closes.
5.No photosphere.
This is the only bugs I have noticed as of now. But still I'm glad that our beloved tab got this update in the first place!
Thanks a lot pershoot! Great job! Looking forward to more fixes in future releases

I didn't create a new one as this one was already running (although in the wrong forum at the time) Thanks for the tip about desktop Odin, I was hoping to use mobile Odin as my laptop isn't setup with any tools at the moment. I didn't need to flash anything anyway, I remembered that I bought my Tab in the USA so it already had it.
So far running good with the Rom, I'm really liking the new UI as it means I make less mistakes when typing as the notifications are now at the top of the screen. The keyboard issue is annoying but I had the same problem in CM10

Custom ROM for GTab, which one to start, which to sort out?

Hi.
I just got my GTab 7510 Wifi Only.
I'd like to install a CustomRom. On my Galaxy Nexus the Rubik ROM - PA with Linaro is working quite excellent.
As far as I have seen, there is no PA for the GTab.
Could you give me some hints, which (JB or not JB) Roms are good and well compiled and which to sort out?
Thank you
There is PA for galaxy tab. @kasper_h compiled it for us, but its currently in alpha stage. If you want to try it out, its in the development section. As for which ROM is the best, try them yourself. Everyone of them are great ROMs. Good luck.

Ive been running some 4.2.2 ROM's but just yesterday I flashed this one..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2055062
It's an ICS ROM so you may not get all the bells and whistles as an AOKP 4.2.2 but my opinion is this one is extremely smooth. The JB ROM's Ive tried were nice but didnt seem to be as smooth. Just my opinion
I'm running CM 10.1 on my tab and it's pretty good so far, but there are a few glitches, such as google now not working properly unless you uninstall the updates. Kind of a bummer, but I have google now on my phone so its not a huge deal. Other than that it's fairly smooth, a little glitchy here and there, but it doesn't bother me.
Prior to this I had CM 10 loaded on there and that was very smooth with no glitches whatsoever, but it doesn't have some of the features that 10.1 has obviously.

I originally had the goo.im gapps which had the faulty google now.

I have installed Carbon from kaspar right now, but I must say... I am a bit disappointed.
It is a little ... not-snappy (don't know how to express that)
Could you tell me the difference between Infamous 4.0.4 and Carbon 4.2?
Both seem to have the same kernel, but the difference between 404 and 42?

Well...Kasper did say that carbon is still in alpha stage. There is a sh*tload of difference between infamous and carbon. Infamous is touchwiz based, carbon is aosp based. The kernel is different. The Infamous kernel is an older version of Mackay kernel, carbon uses the latest Mackay kernel by Kasper.

I was previously on CM10.1 and I do find Carbon less laggy than CM10.1..the nightly I was on previously was very laggy in fact. But currently my GPS doesn't seem to work..or takes ages to get a fix on Carbon. Same problem on the previous CM10.1 also. Any chance it works better on Infamous AOKP?

Infamous AOKP is AOKP-based. Carbon is actually a mixture of CyanogenMod, AOKP and ParanoidAndroid. So in Carbon you get all the special features from all 3 ROMs. For your GPS problem, I honestly don't know.

@eushaun99 Thanks so much! I hope you don't mind me asking you more qns:
1) What rom are you using now for p7500? Why did you pick that rom in the end?
2) I realise now that I didn't do a full clean install. I did not format system under "mounts and storage". Can I check with you, where do I save the rom zip and the gapps zip so that it's safe even when I do the wipe data and format system.Currently I put the rom zip and gapps zip into the sdcard folder which is in / (which I understand refers to my internal sd). What folder does format system clean? Is it just the "system" folder?
thanks in advance!

1) I'm using InfamousAOKP right now. For me, its one of the best ROM available for our tab. Smooth, silky,great battery life. Also I love the fact that AOKP has an option for a dark-themed ROM. Makes my keyboard look so damn nice.
2) The downloaded files will be stored in /data/media which is symlinked to /sdcard, not /. If you format system, only /system will be wiped. If you format data, everything in /data will be wiped except /data/media, so don't worry.

I just flashed to Infamous AOKP last night. It was a clean flash with system wipe and factory reset but I now get a System UIDs do not match error when booting up. It still manages to get to home screen once I click "I'm feeling lucky" (which is the only option when the error msg pops up anyway). But my GPS is still not working. It wasn't working properly on Carbon rom either (took ages to detect and kept losing signal) or CM 10.1.

android 4.2 rom problems

whenever i install a 4.2 rom the same problems occur, camera says no external storage available and so does gallery and playstore just force closes
I had this problem n solved it.
This is strange but trust me!
I guess your using a blade42 kernel for aokp etc?! Flash a cm10 kernel, wipe cache and dalvik. Wait for optimizing apps to finish n it will get stuck on starting android or something like that. After a min or two reboot into bootloader n flash the latest blade42, wipe cache and dalvik then reboot.
Done
I had this n no matter how many different blade42 kernels I tried they were all the same. I had a feeling there was a problem changing kernels, just a hunch, I assumed that forcing the phone to change wrongly to a cm10 kernel made the phone make a better job of changing back to the correct kernel.
If you get what I mean!
Anyway try the cm10 idea

It is because you did not create the 0 folder...
Reading the thread from which you installed the 4.2 ROM really helps!
Trust me on this!!!!
This 'problem' has been reported at least 1000 times and the solution is within the first 3 or 4 posts on each and every 4.2 thread!

nothing to do with kernels, all to do with the rom's and reading the F&Q of CM10.1\AOKP

I already had the 0 folder. I had been successfully using 4.2 ROMs for a little while. It wasn't until I updated my kernel that the problem started. Then eventually even the origional kernel (that worked) started to say no storage. The only way it got solved was the way I mentioned.

Im not sure what the cause is/was. As I say above, the 0 folder is there and I could only sort it that one way.
Sorry if this is a stupid question but what is the f&q

Ditto.
I carefully followed the instructions for the AOKP 4.2.2 - 2.0k installation. It all runs fine, I have the data/media/0 folder (i checked in TWRP), but my apps keep telling me there is no external storage.
Perhaps someone could point me at ANOTHER FAQ that I might have missed.
Ta,

Just need to know one thing, after you created the 0 folder - did you copy the items in SDCARD/ to the 0 folder?
Also, if possible - always use the boot.img which is inside the ROM...

Second bit first, yes I did use he boot.img from the ROM....
As to copying stuff, no I didn't because there wasn't anything in it I wanted, this is my "mess about and break" phone.
My issue wasnt as much "where's all my stuffs gone???????!!!!!!!!!1111111oneone" as "my camera app keeps ending because it can't see anywhere to store pictures"
Thanks for the input folks. Shall install revolution HD, make some files, make a 0 dir, copy those files into it, flash AOKP and report back...!

Pretty weird, I have tried both Carbon & CM 10.1 by loir - these issues were not there....
Could you try reflashing the ROM & Kernel again, if you have spare time
